A shield fixture that consists of a slab of iron with a cylindrical hole into which plugs of various materials can be inserted is described. Computations made to determine the effect of source-plate size on centerline dose rates are described, and incremental dose contributions from various annular sections of the source plate are presented. Plugs of iron, aluminum, and lead were used in the computations. (auth
